Windows XP Easter Egg - Hidden Brian Eno Ambient Mix on Windows Xp
There is a hidden music track inside Windows XP that is very hard to find. It is really relaxing ambient music to be on your computer to, here are the steps...
1. Click start and right click "My Computer" and click "Explore" 2. Click Tools on the top of the window and click "folder options" 3. In folder options click "view" 4. In the advanced settings box, scroll down and check and uncheck the following... Click "Show Hidden Files and Folders" under the hidden files and folders box. Uncheckmark "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" (you'll get a warning that files required to run the system will be displayed so as soon as you view the egg id suggest you go back and undo the changes) 5. Now, go to start, right click "My computer" and click "Explore", now, click Local Disc C then click WINDOWS 6. Click "system32" 7. Click the folder "oobe" 8. Click "images" 9. Now for the coup de gras! In "images" click "title" and prepare to hear the awesome music! (It should open in Windows Media Player) (This was not found by me, i got this from www.metacafe.com, all credits to him)

I highly oppose this as being categorised as an eegg. It is just one of the sound tracks that plays during the WinXP setup and has been found somewhere in the WINDOWS folder. It is not something the developers have hidden or concealed in any way. It's only that this soundtrack happens to sound really awesome that it becomes an eegg. Ridiculous. 0/10.

I agree, it's not an egg. The title of the track even says 'Windows welcome music'

This is not an easter egg. When windows xp is first installed on your computer (you put in the disk or use system recovery) Then this music plays. This is windows xp default install music, so its not an easter egg. As to why its in those registry files, hell, they had to put it somewhere it wouldn't be copied..

IS NOT an hidden music, because when you install Windows XP with a typic sound card that no need any program o device installed, in the installation when install finalizes, the sound card may be installed automatically and the "hidden" title music is reproducing on the "set the names of the usuary that uses the computer" setup.

Microsoft also uses this music when you on hold are waiting for a human to help you with product activation.

Maybe it's the reference to OOBE (out-of-body-experience). Check Wikipedia for more info.

Though I agree that this is not an egg, I have been looking for this music for a long time and had no clue how to get to it. Thanks for the info, but not an egg!

That music sounds like the music that plays in Freeonlinegames.com's Planet Racer.
Also, I didn't have to do the stuff in the view tab to listen to this song.

No, not an egg per se, but still useful. I had tried to find this file before without success. So, thank you for posting it.
